In recent years, copper (Cu) pollution in agricultural soils, due to arbitrary use of pesticides,
fungicides, industrial effluent and wastewater irrigation, present a major concern for …

Copper (Cu) is essential to plants but can also be harmful due to Fenton chemistry. Because
of that, it is necessary to keep Cu within a narrow concentration limit. Plants evolved …

Cd and Zn pollution was observed to often occur simultaneously in soils. However, previous
studies focused on single heavy metal instead of Cd and Zn combined pollution. Castor …

The root soil interaction affects metal bioavailability in the rhizosphere, thus impacting the
uptake and accumulation of metals by plants. In this study, a greenhouse experiment using a …

Chelating agents have been considered as an important phytoremediation strategy to
enhance heavy metal extraction from contaminated soil. A pot experiment was conducted to …

Chromium is one of the highly toxic heavy metals to plant growth and development
especially hexavalent chromium (Cr+ 6) due to its readily available nature and mobility into …

Abstract Effect of arsenate [As (V)] on biomass, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance,
transpiration, oxidative stress, accumulation of As, Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn and expression of …

Accumulation of excess copper (Cu) in agricultural soils can decrease growth and quality of
crops grown on these soils and a little information is available on the role of silicon (Si) in …

Phytoremediation is a plant based environmental cleanup technology to contain (rendering
less toxic), sequester and degrade contaminated susbtrates. As can be seen from data …

Heavy metal contamination of land and freshwater resources is a serious concern
worldwide. It adversely affects the health of animals, plants and humans. Therefore …
